Carlton Davis III disagreed with a questionable officiating decision in a big moment.

With 4:50 left in regulation, the Patriots cornerback was whistled for a defensive pass interference penalty on Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. Higgins, who was injured on the play after going to the ground hard, drew a 27-yard penalty for the Cincinnati offense.

The Bengals scored a 17-yard touchdown on the next play to cut New England’s two-possession lead to a mere field goal.

“That (expletive) was BS because he’s a bigger receiver, first and foremost, and he’s a physical receiver,” Davis told reporters after [New England’s...

The New England Patriots left Cincinnati with their tenth straight victory, but it was not without paying a price.

New England saw a handful of starters depart Sunday’s contest with injuries, which included rookie left tackle Will Campbell (knee) and left guard Jared Wilson (ankle), both of whom were rolled up on in action.

While Mike Vrabel was not able to provide any injury updates post game, Campbell needed to be carted to the locker room and is now scheduled to undergo an MRI. Wilson, meanwhile, needed a walking boot in the postgame locker room.

“Shoot, I love those guys,...

Drake Maye seems to be done emulating Cam Newton.

The New England Patriots became the first NFL team to reach 10 wins when defeating the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the game, Maye and Stefon Diggs appeared to have some fun over the week’s discourse surrounding Newton.

Newton called the Patriots’ hot start “fool’s gold” on ESPN and stayed on the offensive after Maye dismissed the commentary. The 23-year-old quarterback slyly referenced the drama at Foxborough.

Maye and Diggs performed a choreographed handshake prior to the afternoon game’s kickoff when the wide receiver broke out Newton’s signature “Superman” celebration. Maye shook his...

The New England Patriots made some alterations prior to celebrating their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Mike Vrabel didn’t wait outside the locker room and greet players like he typically does, instead running straight inside to presumably check on some notable injuries that occurred during the game. Christian Gonzales and some of his fellow defenders, on the other hand, started working the phones and placed a call to Jahlani Tavai.

“We were able to get him on a FaceTime,” Gonzalez said, per team provided video. “It’s great to be able to talk to him, see his face, see...

The injury bug bit the New England Patriots hard on Sunday.

Patriots captain Brenden Schooler suffered an ankle injury during the first half against the Bengals and did not return in New England’s 26-20 victory at Paycor Stadium. Schooler reportedly tested out his ankle on the sideline, and showed frustration after not being able to return.

The special teams ace was in the Patriots locker room wearing a walking boot on his left foot, according to the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters after the game he didn’t have injury updates on any of the...

The New England Patriots got to 10-2 on Sunday with a gritty 26-20 win in Cincinnati over the Bengals, but the Pats suffered multiple crushing injuries.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel didn’t have any further info on Campbell’s injury during the postgame presser.

With Pats fans shaking their head over the rookie’s bad luck, rival fans looked on with interest, wondering if New England’s offensive line will be compromised in a...

The New England Patriots defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 26-20 on Sunday, but suffered some key losses during the game. Among the injured players was starting left guard Jared Wilson.

Wilson was not the only starting lineman to...

The New England Patriots suffered a pair of serious blows on Sunday.

Will Campbell (knee) and Jared Wilson (ankle) were both carted to the locker room amid the club’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals — with the neither being able to return despite initially being ruled as questionable.

Mike Vrabel didn’t provide much in terms of an update following the game. Drake Maye, however, shared a few words about his rookie offensive linemen during his postgame press conference.

“Shoot, I love those guys, man. They’re gonna be alright… I love those guys,” Maye said, per team-provided video. “Will and Jared,...

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel started something of a tradition earlier this season.

Vrabel, in an effort to help establish a winning culture, celebrates every victory by greeting each member of his roster before they walk back into the locker room — with the club’s social media team sharing video of those celebrations each week.

It’ll look a bit different this week, though.

Vrabel didn’t wait outside the locker rooms at Paycor Stadium, but instead ran straight inside to presumably to check on injured offensive linemen Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, and special teamer Brenden Schooler, according to...

Here is a Patriots-centric view at some of the key moments of the game.

Moment No. 1: Bad pick-six

The Patriots offense was in a funk for much of the afternoon, with its lowlight moment coming in the early second quarter. Drake Maye overshot tight end Hunter Henry in the middle of the field, instead hitting safety Geno Stone,...

A decade had passed since the New England Patriots last won nine in a row.

It took a 26-20 Pyrrhic victory to get there against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Here’s a glance back on the 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Paycor Stadium as head coach Mike Vrabel’s team heads to December with a 10-2 record.

Maye leans on Henry to outlast NFL’s 32nd defense

No defense around the NFL entered Sunday behind Cincinnati’s. Yet while ranked last with 33.4 points allowed per game, 418.2 yards allowed per game as well as in terms of DVOA, that wasn’t on...
